    This is probably what I will do for now. I want to use my stuff up first before I buy something else. I`ve got a gallon of the Meguiar`s Synthetic X-Press Spray Wax that I can use every couple of washes or so.

    The next time I polish out with 3D Speed I`m going to see how long it lasts on its own. Hopefully I will have found a good car wash soap that will also boost Speed`s performance. I`ve been doing a lot of research and learning a lot (funny thing is a lot of the info I find is older when doing searches) and I have plenty of time to make up my mind since I still have plenty of product to use.

    My wife`s car is identical paint, year and body. It is a 2014 Crosstrek in silver. The Crosstrek is just the Impreza body on a different suspension and trim package. I think I will polish her`s out with some Meguiar`s Ultimate Compound I have and then seal it with some Opti-Seal and leave it at that to compare with what I`ve done to the Impreza.

    Re: Why use AIO if it doesn`t last long?

    AIO’s are for when the extended family members that drop the car off! Or if you only feel like or get paid to go around the car once.

    I use Megs PRC I’ve been happy with it and it glosses up a car better than a wax.

    too bad soft99 could produce something that is in this category leaving some fusso behind.

    Zaino makes a good AIO and the new Mothers CMX 3in1 Ceramic has decent corrective ability depending on the pad used.

    I would think both of these would last a long time?

    I`d guess about two months or so. I`ve always topped these with a spray product for a little extra boost.
